Las Vegas man accused of shooting at officers after police find stolen vehicle
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Las Vegas man faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, after he allegedly shot at police while running away, police documents show. Brodie Jarrett, 30, faces 16 charges after police said he shot at officers while running away after police found what they believed to be a stolen vehicle. On Wednesday, May 28, at around 9:45 p.m., officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department were conducting an area check for suspicious vehicles in the 1900 block of North Decatur Boulevard. The officers found a 2019 Ram with a license plate that a records check showed was registered to a 2006 Dodge, according to an arrest report. One officer also saw a 'meth pipe' on the center console. Police spoke to an employee at a nearby Dotty's Casino, asking if she knew who drove the truck. The employee 'quietly' responded and 'subtly' pointed to a man, later identified as Jarrett, in the business who was holding a dog, the report stated. Jarrett stood up and began to leave the building. One of the officers attempted to speak to Jarrett, but he ignored the officer, dropped the dog, and ran from the officers, according to the report. As officers ran after Jarrett, they heard 'several' gunshots coming from where Jarrett was located. Ten gunshots were heard on body-worn camera footage, the report said. While officers attempted to contain a perimeter to search for Jarrett, a phone number registered to Jarrett called 911, claiming to be the victim of a carjacking. On Thursday, May 29, at around 3:30 a.m., officers found Jarrett on the patio of a residence in the 1700 block of Cordoba Lane. While police took him into custody, Jarrett recieved a 'minor dog bite' from an LVMPD K9, according to the report. During a search, police found an unloaded handgun magazine in Jarrett's pocket. Jarrett told police that he ran because he had a warrant for his arrest out of Oregon. He said that while he was running from police, he heard gunshots and thought the officers were shooting at him, the report stated. Jarrett told police he walked to Dotty's until confronted about the truck, when Jarrett claimed he got the truck from a 'friend of a friend' a week prior. When asked about a handgun, Jarrett claimed not to know anything about a gun. When police brought up video cameras from the area, Jarrett said he was done answering questions and asked for an attorney, according to the report. Jarrett was held at the Clark County Detention Center on a $350,000 bail. His preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 18. He faces the following charges: Two counts of attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon Ten counts of assault on a protected person with the use of a deadly weapon Possessing, receiving, or transferring a stolen vehicle Resisting a public officer with a firearm Owning or possessing a gun by a prohibited person Carrying a concealed gun without a permit Court records show Jarrett was also charged with battery by a prisoner on June 4.
